Bath resealing near New Cross

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Bath resealing in New Cross without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in New Cross

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes New Cross. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

What we are called out for in New Cross

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in New Cross

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

If you are in New Cross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
